Pros

If you don't have integrity you can make money if you work hard enough

Cons

Their job listing said this was a management opportunity looking for a sales director. When I got there, the interview had 10 people in a room watch a video and listen to a presentation from a woman who claimed that she makes $500k per year. She was pretty much recruiting people to work under her, but the job doesn't actually pay you a salary. In fact you have to pay them for almost $500 in expenses just to get started, then you have to pay to rent your desk space, pay for a headset, pay for their software subscription, and pay for every lead that you get otherwise you'll just be calling the same recycled leads that everyone has. There are some people here making like $70k but they're also spending $20k a year just to keep the job. Also your commissions are paid to you in an escrow bank account and if a customer cancels, the money gets clawed back. So if you try to quit, you might end up owing them money. The money that hits your escrow account isn't truly yours, they can take it back at any time. It's got big pyramid scheme vibes, as they want you to work under someone else to make them money. Then if you play politics good enough, they'll let you host your own little interview sessions with 5-10 people at a time and try to recruit people to work under you so you can get paid from their dials. I would never feel comfortable telling people to shell out hundreds of dollars for a chance to maybe make money that could be taken back at any time by selling junk insurance. There are a select few people high enough in the pyramid who do make solid money here, but they are few. You're better off getting a real sales job where you get a $50-70k salary plus benefits and 401k and make commissions on top of it. You'll easily make more money elsewhere and actually learn valuable skills and keep your integrity. Nobody is going to see US health on a resume and think it's a good look.

Pros

As a former agent who started at US Health in 2014 and then advanced high enough to open a top 10 office with over 20 agents I feel I have a lot of valuable information to share with anyone considering a career here. First of all, before I explain why I am never going back, let me say that for new agents thinking about joining the industry, or seasoned agents WILLING TO LEARN, this is probably the best insurance opportunity in America. NO insurance company I have ever worked for prior or since pays as much in commission as USHA and NO insurance company has a product that is as innovative. Also, I'm not going to rehash what everyone else has already said, it is not a 9-5 job and if you are willing to put in the work it WILL pay off. All that being said, your success depends a LOT on your up-line. I am the 5th or 6th manager that has left this particular division. At some point, you would think the company would listen to the complaints from the other agents in this division. Sadly that has not been the case. I have had numerous former agents calling me crying about what the office has become, but unfortunately, they are fairly stuck. My advice for anyone considering a career is to ask for a report from the office, and look for yourself at how many people they have and how well they produce. The best managers have teams with consistent sales. Choose one of those, otherwise you WILL regret your time here. Choose the right office and this job WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Cons

Unless you are a great self-starter and at the top 1% of the game, you will fail unless you choose the right team.
